I've been loading for 30 years on a single stage - on an RCBS "Reloader Special 2". It's the only press I've owned (or ever used) and works as good as the day I got it.

I have pondered going progressive, and may this winter - we'll see. But that's another thread.

On this thread, I have to ask about turret presses: I feel like I'm missing something. Because the best I can determine, other than being able to screw in your dies all at once, rather than having to switch out dies, I fail to see how they have any advantage over a single stage press. So you can rotate the turret to quickly go from resize to flair - whoopie-doo!

What am I missing?
